API gotchas
- The Notion OAuth API doesn’t support refreshing tokens, and so doesn’t return a refresh token. The access token never expires.
- When creating a Notion OAuth app, it is set to Internal by default. You need to make it Public to initiate an OAuth flow with users. Only then will you be able to obtain the OAuth client ID/secret and register your callback URL.
- No OAuth scope is required by default for Notion integrations.
- After authorization, users need to explicitly share specific pages or databases with your integration before you can access them.
- Notion has rate limits that vary by endpoint.
